5.0 - Hotfix 3

- Missing distances of things in Space and speed/thruster power everything dosent show up

Is there any chance you ever modified DATA/FONTS/fonts.ini? That file has changed in this patch, so any install-specific modifications will have been lost.

On this note, since this hotfix my game will only launch at 3840x2160 (my monitor's native resolution) despite the fact I set launch options to force it to 2560x1440 in multiple places. This combined with the fonts.ini reset has gotten rid of all numbers on the hud. Neither I nor anyone else can figure out why the game insists on launching at 4k rather than at the resolution I specify, however I have found a solution to numbers vanishing from the hud with @Wildkins's help.


IF YOU RUN THE GAME AT A 16:9 RESOLUTION AND DISTANCE NUMBERS/THRUSTER ENERGY/AMMO COUNTS/ETC HAVE VANISHED FROM YOUR HUD, READ THIS:

- Go to your Discovery FONTS folder. In my case, this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Discovery Freelancer\Discovery Freelancer 4.91.0\DATA\FONTS\

- Open fonts.ini

- Find the following section:

Code:

[TrueType]
nickname = HudSmall
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.030000

- Replace it with the following:

Code:

[TrueType]

fixed_height = 0.029000

- Find the following section:

Code:

[TrueType]
nickname = Normal
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.035000

- Replace it with the following:

Code:

[TrueType]
nickname = Normal
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.028000

I have no idea if this works at other resolutions/aspect ratios, but if you have the issue above, feel free to try this. Also feel free to adjust the values a bit -- be careful, as even tiny increments can either seemingly have no effect OR make all the numbers vanish again.
